4. Wait approx. 30 minutes. The base station requires this
time to collect all weather data and to receive radio
signals from the time signal transmitter.
Starting signal reception
As soon as the base station is supplied with current, all
of the indicators on the display will fade in for a brief
moment. Furthermore, the display is briefly lit up and a
beep sounds.
The device then switches to receiving-mode,
during which the number of radio waves indicates
the quality of the reception: The more radio waves
shown on the display, the better is the reception.
As soon as the signal has been received with sufficient
strength, the corresponding data and the radio-tower
symbol will be shown on the display. This process can last
a few minutes.
From now on, the weather station automatically switches
to receiving-mode multiple times each night. During
this process, the displayed time is compared with that
received from the time signal transmitter and, if necessary,
corrected.
If no sufficiently strong signal has been received,
the base station aborts the receiving process after a
few minutes and the radio-tower symbol goes out. The
receiving process is started again at a later point in time.
In this case, the time proceeds as usual (beginning with
the start time of "00:00").
